Final Cut Pro update imminent - report

Apple will launch a new version of Final Cut Pro at some stage this spring, according to reports.

Apple will update Final Cut Pro, its video-editing program, this spring according to reports.

TechCrunch said that "people familiar with the matter" had seen a group of video editors on Apple's Cupertino campus, seemingly to get a preview of a new version of Final Cut Pro.

Steve Jobs has already talked up a new version of Final Cut Pro and according to TechCrunch, there will be some pretty major changes in the next release - which could be called Final Cut Pro 8, though this is not certain.

Among the changes will be a complete redesign of the UI and it will be 64-bit, the sources claim, and could launch around the time of the National Association of Broadcasters conference, which will take place in Las Vegas between 9 and 14 April.

Its been a long time coming and I for one can&apos;t wait for a proper refresh. Current FCP seems to groan with all the things its had bolted on over the years.@bernardroughton...Stop moaning. if you want cheap, go Express. If you need to handle pro formats and perform more advanced post, you&apos;ll be getting paid enough to buy Studio. ten years ago you&apos;d be paying &#xa3;10k to get half the features of FCExpress!Nothing is stopping you going Adobe or Avid (except your bank balance!)

Frankly not all of us want to buy the complete "Final Cut Studio". I hope Apple will make &apos;Final Cut Pro 8&apos; available to buy on its own as well. I for one will not buy it if they don&apos;t!
